Me! I hate that he says f our daughter when she won't stop crying. How he gets mad at her because she cries and makes baby noises.
Lets hope it does! Its a pain doing everything on our own. I got up 5 times last night without the dad helping out. Yea he works nights but when its a weekened....still no help!
Babies are stressful on relationships! My little guy is almost 2 months old and i think daddy has changed 10 diapers! Hubby works nights or afternoons so i am basically on my own most of the time! We have a toddler too so i am very busy! I try to just concentrate on my kids. Let the laundry and dishes pile up! Since i am exclusively breastfeeding daddy uses the excuse that "he is hungry and i cant help him with that" it is frustrating. It gets a little better as baby gets older!
Ohhh same here! Baby is a constant demand. He keeps us both up all the time. My partner works third shift and when he gets home he sleeps all day. I awlays have to baby. My son is a month old and i swear my partner changed his diaper twice! It does get pretty over whelming
Same here. It's normal especially since we are sleep deprived and cranky. My hubby is more snappy too. I called him out on it. We get frustrated at times. Our baby is demanding
The truth is U both changed... Ur family dynamics are so different w a newborn. I feel my hubby gets overwhelmed when the babies are newborn-they're so small, I nurse so he can't help there, he gets nervous when they spit up, he has a hard time changing newborn diapers (he changes the diapers all the time when the kids are older), so on. I think my hubby backs off a lil when the newborns are 1st home. Plus Part of it is Ur body is still going through a surge of hormones, changing, plus lack of sleep for both of U. I just had my 3rd baby (it was much harder w my 1st, W the 1st it was so overwhelming & I had the baby blues). Now we've learned we have good days (when we get better sleep)& bad days. I had a csection so my hubby takes off w the older kids to the park, pool, stores or in the play room. It's hard bcuz he's always gone but he needs to keep the older 2 busy & I'm very greatful they're having fun but it's hard & somedays I feel alone. Pay attention to Ur emotions if Ur feeling really overwhelmed, emotional it could be baby blue/postpartum depression-talk to Ur dr ASAP if u feel this way. Take a deep breath & a nap if U can. Sleep makes everything better... Good luck
